I thought PETA stood for People Eating Tasty Animals. What did I miss?

Of course PETA would freak out. They want us all eating tofu or something, until they come up with yet another harebrained thought that soybeans have rights, too.

Let’s face it, PETA hates [b]people[/b].

it would be evironmentally safer just to rig the brick so it bashes the lobsters skull in. But then again PETA would probably have a nancy over that.

The price of oil today has reversed this practice! Now fishermen place several lobsters in the trap hoping to allure an oil-soaked brick.

True, #4. Should be great for the environment to have all those kerosene soaked bricks in our oceans.

That’d go over really well with the EPA and other regulatory agencies — dropping petroleum-soaked bricks in the water.

I wonder why they’d be attracted to it.
Maybe because they’re scavengers and most living creatures give off their fatty tissues as oils and oil-like compounds when they die and sink to the bottom of the sea.
Anybody know? any Mainiacs around?

Don’t think of the kerosene and toxic, rather as a flavor enhancer.

Would the lobsters ingest kerosene, therefore making their flesh somewhat toxic?
